It's called the red zone, where an offense is supposed to design special plays and step up to the challenge of scoring once it moves inside an opponent's 20-yard line.

But it's resembled more of a dead zone for Auburn's offense, which seems to self-destruct every time it moves within scoring range.

AU's offense has scored points on just 20-of-35 (57%) of its trips into the red zone this season. That pitiful number ranks dead last in the NCAA Bowl Subdivision rankings. That's right. Auburn is No. 119.
